  The Watchtower's Great Game of "Jenga" and Exposure

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jenga is a simple game in which wooden blocks are neatly piled up - and then removed, one by one, until one person ( the person who loses.

  the game) makes the pile collapse.. it is tempting to see the organization in the same way - making small but significant "removals" over time.

  they pull out food service.

  Will the GB start to crack soon?

  we have seen what happens to staunch jw's who hang out here.

  in a year or less they are questioning their beliefs and trying to figure a way out without losing everything.

  could this not happen with some of our gb members and members of the wt corporation?

  Most interesting thought. It would be pretty tricky for a GB to fade. Maybe, like the lurkers on this site, they would find it easier to keep up the pretence. Never ever get to appreciate a real, free life.

  And never has the Society predicted the advent of the internet. Not one scripture. To my mind, the internet is the biggest thing that has happened in my lifetime.

  Sorry Mioshie - I'll start my own thread.

  Back to your question....dunno

  Explaining to JWs they are not a superior lot

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how would you explain to them that they are not really better than the rest of society and that their religion is not superior to serious christian religions?

  .

  that their superiority complex is based on a lot of hot air in their leaders' heads.

  Government acknowledgement of Alien visitation may trigger "End Times"

  by Franz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i claim that our forefathers received visits from the universe in the remote past, even though i do not yet know who these extra-terrestrial intelligences were or from which planet they came.

  i nevertheless proclaim that these "strangers" annihilated part of mankind existing at the time and produced a new, perhaps the first, homo sapiens.

  as was illustrated in the hollywood films contact, and close encounters of the third kind, erich von daniken's hypothesis took america by storm in the 1960's with the proposition that mankind was possibly the offspring of an ancient, perhaps ongoing, extra-terrestrial experiment.

  looking through the internet i learned that everything i have ever know to be true is a lie

  at the beginning of time aliens created the earth and the heavens.

  they are the greater force and also the fallen angels that are prophesized in the bible.

  To all the Newbies.....Welcome!!

  by Gill in

  i just read the thread on 'double lifers' and 'still in jws'.. first i just want to say welcome to all you newbies and 'hello' to all you readers who still haven't got up the courage to join jwd and post yet.

  we look forward to hearing from you.. i found the above thread very sad.

  there are so many young jws especially held captive in the jw religion, by fear of shunning, and so many older ones trapped for the same reason.. all i can say in comfort is 'hold on to your own mind and thoughts now.

  A young ex-witness told me of the night that the committee disfellowshipped him.

  After the meeting, he sat in his car for over an hour.His feeling of extreme happiness and relief was overwhelming. He told me that he wanted to hold that feeling for as long as he could.

  He also mentioned that since leaving, his life has been full of blessings, personal and financial, the opposite to what the WTS had taught him.

  Mind you, he had to make a strong stand against family pressure. But it more than paid off.

  This is a true story. Maybe one day he will post here.
